I went to Walgreens and they switched me to "Picture CD".
I went to a camera store and said, "Walgreens never heard of "Photo
CD". Can you guys get it for me? The guy said, "Sure" but signed me
up for their own, in-house jpgs-on-a-cd product.
I explained to him again that the Kodak product I want is called "Kodak
Photo CD", not "Picture CD" and AGAIN he agreed with me but this time
he wrote "Picture CD" on the photo envelope. He told me that "Photo CD"
is jpgs made from scanning PRINTS! I said, "No it's TIFFs".
When I told him it isn't what I wanted, a seemingly intelligent woman
came over and looked it up in a book which (supposedly) told them that
"Photo CD" is the same resolution as "Picture CD". It's not. It's
several resolutions of each image.
Rather than argue, I just quietly said, "Look, I'm not trying to be a
jerk. I'm just trying to bridge the gap between high-quality film and
high-quality digital, and "Picture CD" isn't it."
She said, "Ok", so I handed the film over (again). She wrote "Picture
CD" on the bag. I said, "I can''t believe you wrote "Picture CD" on the
bag!" She said, "But I told you it's the same resolution."
Anyway, enough about my nightmare. I'm ready to wake up. Where can I
get this incredibly rare service?
